Potential Therapeutic Implications of laser Acupoints on Visceral Fat and Hormonal Changes in Post-menopausal Women

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

All the patients fitted the inclusion criteria, will be given explanation of the treatment protocol in their understandable language.

Treatment procedures. Group (A): will receive laser acupuncture in addition to traditional treatment (low calorie-diet and physical activity) Group (B): will receive traditional treatment only

Laser acupuncture technique:

Application of laser acupuncture on 10 acupuncture procedure for each woman which will be detected by therapist according to Acupuncture points Will stimulate St 25 (Tianshu), St 36 (Zusanli), Liv 3 (Taichong); P 6 (Neiguan), H 7 (Shenmen) for the psychical aspect of the therapy and Auriculothera- py: 55 (Shenmen) and 87 (Stomach) Each point stimulating will be Stimulation time, 30 s/point two sessions per week for 8 weeks.
